Decode protect-o-plates??
Permalink  

Do any of you know how to decode protect-o-plates?

I stumbled on this in another forum and quickly saw the engine unit number & engine code was on the POP, but am wondering if anyone can decode the remaining characters, or what they are supposed to mean?

Is it a fair guess that the 83319 is the zip code for Mr Cota's residence?
(when did Canada go away from Zip codes?)

I am guessing that 82044 was one of Calgary's zip codes...

So the ticker tape appears to have the vehicle owner/purchaser information, and the metal card has the car's vin and EUN;
but the following bit's are at this time lost to me:

PD2229

XH317

1133

N

Any replies would be appreciated :)

I have a booklet at home on how to decide Protect-O-Plates. 83319 & 82044 are the dealer codes, not a zip code.
Canada implemented Postal Codes in the very early 70's (I'm guessing 1972) and prior to that they were just a single digit or 2 digit number. My parents house in Willow Park was Calgary 30.

The tranny and diff stampings info will also be on the Protect-O-Plate.

I'm guessing those are the PD2229 & XH317.

Oh!!!

that makes sense!!

XH317: XH "4 pinion locker"; 317th day of the year(?); http://www.wallaceracing.com/axledata2.htm

PD2229: PD RAIII-M40; 2229 ???; http://www.gtoheaven.com/gtostats/70gto.html

 

I'd be very interested in seeing this booklet, to see if it correlates with this Buick tag I have - It doesn't appear to have an EUN ect...

I'm giving this a bump.


I think I have figured out this POP I have here, and it differs greatly from the Pontiac one that I have pictured in the first post (that's one I do not have).

Does anyone know the 1970 Buick rear end codes?

I am guessing NJ is one.

I think i have this figured out, but only 'NJ' (on line 2), and 'JS148' on line one ellude me.
